Nondiscrimination Policy
PSI does not discriminate among candidates on the basis of age, gender, race, color, religion, national origin, disability, marital status or any other protected characteristic.
Special Arrangements for Candidates with Disabilities
PSI and DEP comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and strives to ensure that no individual with a disability (as defined by the ADA as a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment) is deprived of the opportunity to take the examination solely by reason of that disability.
If special accommodations are being requested, you will need to have prior approval from the DEP. PSI will not be able to assist with this matter until notification is received from the DEP. Once DEP has approved a candidate's request, candidates may call PSI at 855-557-0617 to schedule their examination. PSI will then provide reasonable accommodations for candidates with disabilities.
1. Wheelchair access is available at all established Test Centers. Candidates must advise PSI at the time of scheduling that wheelchair access is necessary.
2. Candidates with visual, sensory, physical or learning disabilities that would prevent them from taking the examination under standard conditions may request special accommodations and arrangements.
Verification of the disability and a statement of the specific type of assistance needed MUST BE MADE IN WRITING TO DEP at least 45 calendar days prior to your desired examination date.
Examination Application Approval
All applications for examination must be submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection, Operator Certification Program. Once your application has been reviewed and approved by the DEP, you will be notified in writing. Your approval letter will contain your unique identification number (Profile ID #) for you to provide to PSI for scheduling purposes. For your security, the DEP will not provide PSI with your Social Security Number as a means for personal identification. Once you receive your approval letter, you may contact PSI via the Internet or by phone to schedule your examination.

If you do not schedule and take your examination before this expiration date, you will not be permitted to test.
